The Truth About Costa Rica

If you're thinking about traveling in Costa Rica, reading my experiences can help you decide what to see and do while you're there. My husband and I went there at Christmas on a tour of 10 days in the group with the Caravan company, a tour provider which also guided tours of Mexico, Guatemala, Copper Canyon and the Canadian Rockies. The tour began in San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica The hotel is modern and comfortable, with a great buffet food (relatively) real. Due to tropical climate, local products of excellent quality, is available all year, obviously, grown on small farms, not giant factory farms common in North America. The local watermelon were the most delicious I had ever eaten, small (less than a foot in diameter) with bright red flesh is very sweet, quite different from California pale, tasteless, huge melons grown at Mexico trade and sold in the United States. Rice and beans are served at almost every meal, but there was always a great variety of dishes with spicy meat dishes and spicy vegetarian. I'm not vegetarian, but I love vegetables, so I was very happy with the menu and was one of the highlights of the trip. Bad food and hospitality noise can really affect a walk, but the scenery is fantastic. My last tour, with camper, we went to Mexico, and the chicken was the menu so often that to this day my husband will not eat more. "All pollo'ed out," is how he says. But it was not the case this time, so obviously, even with the same company trips, each trip is different, since the details are largely organized by local agents.We not spend much time in San Jose itself, guided only by way of local attractions. But I realized the windows and barred spirals of barbed wire that surrounds almost all houses and buildings, and two armed guards and the products of an appliance shop, of all places. Facing a bank, I could understand, but in a shop selling washing machines? The guide said that the local crime rate is extremely high. In Mexico, I have seen some windows boarded up, but some barbed wire. They said that robbery is a problem throughout Latin America, and an acquaintance who has traveled extensively around the continent, he told me not to take anything of value, along my journey. However, even with this caveat, the view was truly impressive. I'm not used to the world in Canada and the United States, and even the Caribbean do not have these obvious problems. Although Costa Rica is a trendy place for retirement for a lot of gringos, that really make me think twice before passing there.Costa Rica is a volcanic area, and the tour group went to see two volcanoes The Poas and Arenal Volcano. Poas Volcano was at a height, covered with a forest full of streaming clouds, fog Halloween unlike anything I've seen elsewhere. The crater, which contains a bright green, highly acidic lake was barely visible due to foggy conditions, but the only way through the forest has been useful itself.itself.The second volcano we visited was the Arenal, and recommend that all travelers to Costa Rica to establish a day to visit the hot springs on the side of the mountain. I've never seen a water park like this! Admission is $ 25.00 U.S. strong, probably priced beyond the reach of most residents, but worth every penny. The hot spring has about a dozen large pools each about 30 meters wide, with two downtown bars. The pools have a different temperature from hot to boiling. All pools are surrounded by tropical vegetation and trails. And 'very possible to spend a whole day without bored.Our these groups took a heavenly ride on the funicular, which runs between the canopy of the jungle. Every so often, a giant blue Morpho butterfly fluttering around the tram, so bright and iridescent seemed to be illuminated by a spotlight. We saw many birds and butterflies, snakes, but not color, unfortunately, even if there should be many varieties of them in the jungle. Neither jaguars, as they are rare and very shy.If going to walk into the rainforest, including groomed trails, be sure to wear walking shoes or sandals, and even long pants that can be added to the boots. I'm not kidding when I make this recommendation: the forest floor is full of biting ants, both army ants and leaf cutter ants, which have huge nests several feet in diameter. These ants actually

Tired of the Humdrum? Need To Get Away and Relax? I Have Just the Remedy - A Costa Rica Vacation

Here are 10 reasons terrible to take a vacation in Costa Rica now. 1. Find fares and great opportunities to travel to Costa Rica at this time. Many hotels and resorts offer discounted off season rates. 2. There are about 800 kilometers of unspoilt coastline, with hundreds of great beaches of Costa Rica This is the deserted beaches on both coasts of the Pacific and the Caribbean. In fact, it might be the only one on most beaches now. 3. Are you an eco-tourism? Costa Rica has more species of butterflies from around the African continent also the only butterfly in the world that makes a sound. Not to mention almost as many different bird species, as in the continent of Europe or all of the continental United States. But do not leave luggage unattended or a fabulous camera Manuel Antonio Park, because the monkeys steal anything they can get their hands on. 4. Costa Rica has a park on the Osa Peninsula, national Geograpic calls the most biologically intense place on Earth. At its north end can be fished out of Drake Bay, named after Sir Francis Drake, the famous English sea captain who landed there a few years earlier had saved England and defeated the mighty Spanish Armada. The park is quite small, but full of an extraordinary variety of animals and plants. In fact, little Costa Rica has nearly a fifth of all species of plants and animals in the world. Imagine that in a country that occupies only 1 / 10, 000th of the surface of the planet! 5. Visit the Irazu powerful. This volcano greeted John F. The eruption of the day that Kennedy visited Costa Rica in 1963. You can drive your top, where on a clear day you can see the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean in one place. Or go to the Arenal Volcano, Costa Rica, one of the Seven Wonders, and luxuriate in the wonderful clean hand hot springs, while the crater of the volcano spits lava in the distant sky. 6. Thousands of Americans travel to Costa Rica for cosmetic surgery, dental or other medical care because of the quality of care is world class, but often only one third the price of the United States. Enjoy a tropical vacation, get some kind of great and inexpensive medical care, dental and return home with some of their hard earned money. 7. Some people are taking Spanish classes in schools that teach them how to surf! Or yoga. Or sexy Latin dance. Or all the above. You will discover that learning a language has never been so fun. 8. The temperatures are much the whole year. You can take a bath every day and cool off in the nearby mountains. Thinking of taking a balloon in front of the magnificent volcanoes. 9. I like fish. Do you? He really wants to catch a fish? Some of the best fishing the world's oceans is available every day of the year. Imagine a lot of big tarpon catch or try your luck at the needle (I connected a 450 pounds, recently needle 13). Remember: Catch and release is the rule here. People here take their fishing seriously, Costa Rica. 10. There will be only a short drive to a place where there is a stable democracy. Costa Rica abolished its army over 70 years, and find plenty of friends, friendly people who smile like the Americans and Europeans.
